This package, organised by Durbuy Adventure, is for all of you who enjoy extreme sports. From the top of a former marble quarry, 40m above the ground which you will have reached by climbing a via ferrata, you will grab onto a pulley attached to a steel cable and throw yourself down a 200m "death-ride, the longest in Belgium. Then you will climb back up to 12m above the ground vai a series of 50 rope bridges suspended between trees.

You can then participate in a night walk and/or the dance party with music. The day before or after, you can discover some of the attractions of Durbuy, the smallest city in the world.
